Putting unborn baby's name on Christmas card? Yay or nay?

Beckyboo71

We took a family picture for our card and my belly is front and center....so I started thinking, should I sign it from the baby too? I thought that would be cute, but I still feel superstitious since she's physically not here yet. My DD1 is from my previous marriage, so I was planning to sign it with all of our names, instead of from "The Smiths", for example. I was thinking wording it like "from Joe, Sue, Sally (and Baby Susie too). What do you think?

I contemplated the same as my belly is also in the picture, but I chose not to include her name.

I think I would personally refrain because I'm too superstitious but I think it's cute.

Maybe don't include the name, but just put 'Joe, Sue, Sally (and baby #2!)

This is what I would do

I wouldn't include the name but 'baby#2' or 'baby smith' is a good choice too.

I was actually filling out the baby sheet for the pediatricians office and it felt really odd and thrilling to write LO's name down.

We have just been referring to it as... Baby 'last name'. A lot of the family have been using that as well.

I would say "baby" but not mention the name.

I'm not mentioning the baby in our cards, but I had a friend due in early Jan last year and they signed it with just their names but added a note like "excited to welcome a baby girl in early 2014." I thought it was really cute.

That is cute. I wish I'd thought of it lol!

I think I'm part of the majority. I like the way that Baby "Smith" sounds or the one announcing her soon arrival in January.

I didnt put baby's name on our cards. I'll send announcements out after he is born.

LaBellaVida

I say nay, keep the name off the card.

I didn't mention the baby on our cards. I'm not superstitious in general, but for some reason I am about this.

I put her name on cards all the time. I figure she's alive and kicking (literally) and a part of the family even if still in my belly. We aren't doing christmas cards but a christmas came late/birth announcement so the cards I've been putting her name on are like birthday cards to grandparents or close family members.

We aren't doing Christmas cards, but I wouldn't. It just doesn't feel quite right to me.

AlfiesMOM

We didn't include his name, I actually never even really thought about it!

We have sent out a few birthday cards to family, including "Baby #3" or something similar. I wouldn't use her real name yet (not that we have one) but I do like her to be included

I've been signing shower/gift thank you cards with DH, me, & baby (or baby last name).  Undecided about sending Christmas cards this year, but if we did, that's probably what we would do.

Mama Grande

We knew the name early on so I have been calling him by it all this time. I did add "Baby Henry" to our card, but he is the 3rd kid so who cares anymore.

I'm not signing for our future baby on our cards.

Bigboneded

I'm sure we will sign the cards from R, E & the girls.

firegalb

Nay.

I wouldn't include the baby on cards to anyone outside the immediate family. I did put "and Baby Brother" on DD2's birthday card with the rest of our names, but I wouldn't do it for anyone other than a sibling of the baby.

I think its cute to include her name.
